In the
Middle Ages the village exploited the
peat of the surrounding marshy lands. With so much fresh water, the fishing was, and still is very good in this aquatic environment.
Frise was on the front line for much of the
First World War, notably the
Battle of the Somme in 1916. The outline of trenches and shell holes is still visible today.
